The Dairy Poll is closing on March 31 – which is a significant opportunity for dairy farmers to determine the level of investment in their industry’s future.
The four voting options, determined by the Levy Poll Advisory Committee (LPAC), include the recommended 20 per cent increase in the dairy service levy.
Additional investment will deliver tangible benefits to dairy farmers in important areas for the industry– tackling labour shortages, enhancing the regional service offering to farmers, addressing high priority issues around climate and bolstering policy support.
Dairy farmers can cast their vote online or using a voting ballot returned by email, fax or regular post.

The Dairy Poll is an opportunity for farmers to determine the future level of the dairy service levy – and it is reviewed at least every five years.
The dairy service levy is invested by Dairy Australia in services to benefit dairy farmers and protect the right to farm.
These investments include research and innovation, supporting farm business management, responding to events such as drought, bushfires or Covid-19, developing tools to adapt to the environment and address climate, supporting on-farm employment needs, marketing of dairy products and commitment to sustainability, policy research, industry insights, and delivering international market programs.
